Hi
I’m on the look out for the best illusion builders in Europe! Who should I avoid and who should I be looking for! Who is the illusion builder in Italy that makes a lot of copies????? |

Why would you want his name???? Someone to avoid??
Seriously, why not drop Hans Klok a note through his web site, or Dani Lari. There is a directory that is put out, but I do not have a current copy that would be useful. Perhaps someone has one and can help you. Blair

Hans Klok has many of his illusions built by Bill Smith in America.
You may want to check out a Dutch company - Dutch Illusion builders: http://www.di-design.nl |

Took a visit to the site. Some good looking stuff. Saw the Assistants' Revenge on the "Plus Grand Cabaret.." show the other week. Liked the look.
Thanks Lee Alex. Blair

Lots of rip "offs" on some of the sites and some very bad BIG bases!

Yeah I noticed a lot of dodgy looking bases on some of those sites as well.
Think I will stick to building my own Anyone who wants to see the twins show in the uk soon will be able to as they will be based at a raher well known uk theme park this season, not sure I'm really allowed to tell anyone that yet but what the hell.. |

I suggest not to by any illusions in Europe. Keep your money safe and when ready, afford the price of iternational builders like Bill Smith, John Gaughan or David Mendoza. It's worth the price.

Whats wrong with illusions built in europe?
|
Oliver - Twist Regular user France 170 Posts |
Generally there's nothing wrong with them. Concerning my message I'm only talking about illusions invented by the great minds in magic (Jim, André, Franz, Ryan C., Mark, J.C. Sum and all the others I forgot to mention).
Illusions invented by those named that you can find sold in Europe are for sure rip offs. Check Magicauction.com and you'll find a listing of illusions, their inventors and the authorized builders for them. Sure, you'll pay much less for a rip off, but the money you kept lacks the quality of the prop. Exemple : A friend of mine bought a Slicer from Belgium or Italie (can't remember which country) and he needed to rework the whole illusion to make it work correctly.

One of the best illusion builders is located in Germany and called Günther Puchinger.
His website http://www.gpuchinger.de . He has a name in magic and many famouse magicians already ordered some illusions from him. You must normaly pay a high price but it is the best quality I saw so far here in Europe. |
